The XL2420T demonstrates BenQ’s true belief that "gaming is in the details" It has been co-developed with Counter-Strike pro gaming legends to bring you a gaming monitor like no other – from the attentive designs to the exceptional functions. With the precision and speed you would expect from a high-performance gaming monitor, you can now have a vantage point over your opponents in all your game play.

The task of conceptualizing the XL2420T as the ultimate gaming monitor involved a unique collaboration with prominent pro gamers: Tommy “Potti” Ingemarsson, Emil “HeatoN” Christensen, Abdisamad “SpawN” Mohamed, Michael “ahl” Korduner and Christer “fisker” Eriksson. These five names alone are synonymous when it comes to legendary Counter-Strike players. Their accumulated wealth of knowledge and skills helped BenQ develop a monitor that adapts to the needs of gamers to improve their chances of winning.

Poor visibility in dark scenes can cost even the most skillful gamers their game. The Black eQualizer color engine technology is designed to offer an unprecedented level of control and visibility. Dark scenes are brightened without over-exposing the bright areas to preserve vital details, enabling gamers to spot their enemies easily in critical combat and react quickly in any situation.

The XL2420T comes with a stylish S Switch.

Now switching seamlessly between the presets is as easy as 1-2-3.

Or take advantage of the Smart Scaling feature and enjoy the flexibility to freely scale the screen content to any custom size. You can certainly use the two features together to get the best possible view for any application or game.

The preset FPS mode tailored by HeatoN and SpawN gives you the optimal brightness, contrast, sharpness and color tint in FPS games so you can spot your opponents and track their every move, even in indistinct situations.

WOW

Had this a couple weeks now and I love it. Whether playing games without 3D at 120hz or playing in 3D this monitor makes them look amazing. People saying you won't notice a difference between 60hz and 120hz, but trust me you do! It's just so much more crisper and smoother. Brings new life to your PC whether in 3D or not. Top quality product.

Quality

What a setup. this monitor is of the highest quality build and performance, i can't stress enough how good this is. It has to be seen to be believed. The 3d vision 2 kit is just stunning when used on this, bf3 and cod look like different games. I am just in complete shock at the quality of this package. Don't think twice people, its worth every penny, and more.
